ance of the doctor, he induced the unwary
Texan to accompany him to No. Ill East

overJoyed. The trio then proceeded to the
Jefferson Market Court.

She Is TattOoed,

The queen Of Denmark has become,
like the Princess of Wales, very deaf,
and, debarred from the pleasure Of
listening to music. Her Majesty spends
much time In dainty needlework and
letter-writiDg. She has quite German

Princess Waldemar, her daughter-in-

WHY 2
The Rural New Yorker

stands easily at the head of the agricultural
journals of America. Its strikingly origi-
nal features and the care with which it is
edited, render it the most trustworthy eX-
ponent of agricultural thought in the coun-
try. 1t is in no sense sectional, circulating,
as it does, wherever the English language
is spoken. 1t is wholly original and pays
more for contributions than any other jour
nal of its class.
The establishment of the EXPERIMENT
GROUNDS (S2 acres of the RURAL New
YORKER in 1877 marked a new era in farm
journalism, and they are now recognized
by its readers, as well as by the press in
general, as having aided the interests OF
American Agriculture and Horticulture
more than any other one agency.
Its ILLUSTRATIONS are a strong feature
being drawn from nature by our best ar
lists, Over 500 are presented yearly. New
fruits of al kinds, grain, live stock, orna-
mental trees and shrubs, grasses and flow
ers are faithfully shown, while its trench
ant cartoons are aids in the study of how
best to enjoy rural life.

OUR PHILADELPHIA LETTER

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 10, 's7.
One of the things that viii soon be of the
past and should have been abolished long
ago is the car stove. Let Pennsylvania, at
the assembling of the next Legislature,
enact some statute making it compulsory
upon all transportation lines within the
confines of Pennsylvania to put away the
stove and apply some other heating appar-
atus This is the law now in New York
State and the railroad companies there are
complying. AS a result the dangers al
ways encountered therefrom are abolished.
Thus many lives and pitiful catastrophies,
the result of the car stove will be obyiated.
The car stove must 90.

The ILLOGICAL MANNER IN WHICH
partisan journals discuss the policy marked
out in the presidents message shows a
prostitution OF journalism that is becoming
noxious to an American people. Defined
clearly and correctly the president says and
means that the present high tariff rates
must be reduced. There is not fair mind
ed Republican who endorsed the attached
section of the Republican party platform OF
1884, that can honestly and conscientious.
ly disagree with the president; "The Dem
oeratic party has failed completely to re-
lieve the people of the burden of unneces
sary taxation by wise reduction of the
surplus The Republican party pledges
itself to correct the irregularities of thu

THERE HAS BEEN MORE OR LESS TALK
OF late regarding the erection of new
court house; in view of such an event the
citizens Of Lehighton will make a strenu-
GUS effort to have the building located in
this borough. The practicability, in case
OF success, cannot be disputed in face of
the fact that our population is rapidly in
creasing, the variety of our manufact 1ring
industries constantly augmenting, our ac-
commodatiOns second TO none, and terri
tory on which TO build town that would

When the time comes the citizens of this
